Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a case for cut flowers, and more particularly to a case in which sheets of corrugated cardboard or the like are assembled in a rectangular parallelepiped shape and the cut flowers are stored and conveyed.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, flat corrugated ball cases have been used to supply cut flowers from the production site to consumers through the distribution process. That is, the cut flowers were stored horizontally in a flat cardboard case that is horizontally long and has a low dimension in the height direction. In addition, in the spring to autumn season when the temperature is relatively high, a freshness-retaining agent and a special film were used together with the cardboard case in order to maintain the freshness. Also, especially in the midsummer when the temperature is high, we used styrofoam boxes with heat insulation.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 According to the case for cut flowers, which consists of a conventional cardboard case, the cut flowers are stored sideways, so the flowers come loose and the product temperature rises, the quality deteriorates, and the freshness deteriorates. There was a problem of reaching the market in a state. Further, according to such a distribution form, since cut flowers are not supplied during transportation, the cut flowers purchased from the market have to be pumped up at retail stores, which is disadvantageous in that it takes time. It was

When a freshness-retaining agent or a film is used together with a corrugated cardboard case, there is a drawback that the cost of physical distribution of cut flowers increases. In addition, the packaging box made of Styrofoam resin is not only more expensive than the packaging box made of a corrugated bowl case, but also has the problem of generating harmful gas when discarded and incinerated, and the Styrofoam resin case folds flat. The disadvantage is that it requires extra space for storage and supply.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is possible to omit the work of watering cut flowers that have been stocked, and the quality of the cut flowers does not deteriorate due to the deterioration of the flowers. The purpose is to provide a cut flower case that can be supplied to the market while maintaining high freshness.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is constructed by assembling a sheet of corrugated cardboard into a rectangular parallelepiped shape and storing cut flowers inside, and in such a case that the cut flowers are conveyed in an upright state and the bottom part is water resistant. A box is housed so that the cut flowers are replenished with water impregnated in the water absorbing material arranged in the receiving box, and in the upright state, the front plate is formed with an opening capable of opening and closing by cutting. The present invention relates to a case for cut flowers, characterized in that the cut flowers housed inside can be seen through the opening.

[0007]

[Action]

 Therefore, the cut flowers can be stored upright in the cut flower case, and the cut flowers are cut by the water impregnated in the water absorbent material in the water-resistant receiving box located at the bottom of the cut flower case. Water will be supplied. In such a case for cut flowers, it is possible to see the cut flowers inside by opening the cut portion of the front plate as necessary.

An auxiliary plate 21 is connected to the lower ends of the side plates 13 and 14 via a bending line 22. Further, lid plates 23 and 24 are connected to the upper ends of the front plates 11 and 12 via bending lines 26, respectively. An auxiliary plate 25 is foldably connected to the upper ends of the auxiliary plates 13 and 14 via a bending line 26.

A locking piece 29 is continuously provided at the left end of the side plate 13 in FIG. 1, and a locking hole 30 for receiving the locking piece 29 is provided at a joint portion between the rear plate 12 and the side plate 15. ing. Further, a lock piece 31 is provided on a side portion of the back plate 12, and a lock hole 32 for receiving the lock piece 31 is provided at a base portion of the locking piece 29. The lateral side plates 13, 14, 15 are provided with horizontally long handle holes 33. Further, two circular small holes 34 are provided in each of the side plates 13, 14, 15 so that a cord can be inserted therethrough. Further, a horizontally long water injection port 35 is provided below the side plates 13, 14, 15.

Next, a description will be given of the water resistant sheet 38 constituting the receiving box 42 housed in the cut flower case made of the corrugated fiberboard base paper 10 as described above. As shown in FIG. 2, corrugated cardboard impregnated with a water resistant material such as wax. Two fold lines 39 parallel to each other in the lateral direction are formed on the sheet, and two fold lines 40 parallel to each other are further formed on the sheet 38 in the vertical direction. ing. In addition, a bending line 41 extending obliquely from the intersection of the bending lines 39 and 40 is provided at the corner portion of the water resistant sheet 38.

As shown in FIG. 3, such a waterproof sheet 38 has a horizontal bending line 39 and a vertical bending line 40, and an oblique bending line 41. As a result, the receiving box 42 having a rectangular parallelepiped shape is assembled. A water absorbing material 43 made of urethane resin, for example, is arranged in the receiving box 42. The water impregnated by the water absorbing material 43 is used to replenish the cut flowers.

On the other hand, in the outer case for cut flowers, the corrugated cardboard base paper 10 shown in FIG. 1 is assembled in a rectangular parallelepiped shape. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the packaging box is assembled into a rectangular parallelepiped by bending the front plate 11, the rear plate 12 and the three side plates 13, 14, 15 at the bending line 16. Then, the lower auxiliary plate 21 is bent inward, and the U-shaped notch of the bottom plate 19, the protrusion on the front end side of the bottom plate 20 and the front end of the auxiliary plate 21 are combined with each other to form the bottom of the packaging box. Close the opening.

Then, the notch 46 formed in the front plate 11 is opened, and as shown in FIG. 5, the receiving box 42 in which the water absorbing material 43 is laid is housed in this cut flower case. The upper opening is closed by the auxiliary plate 25 and the lid plates 23 and 24. The tip portions of the pair of lid plates 23, 24 may be fixed by adhering them with an adhesive tape or the like.

In the cut flower case thus assembled, cut flowers are accommodated through the opening 47 on the front plate 11 side as shown in FIG. Here, the cut flower case is designed to be used upright, and the cut flower is stored in the cut flower case in the upright state. Then, the root portion of the cut flower comes into contact with the water absorbent material 43 in the receiving box 42 arranged at the bottom of the cut flower case, and sucks up the water impregnated in the water absorbent material 43. In other words, the cut flowers will continue to be replenished with water while stored in the box. Then, in order to prevent the cut flowers stored therein from falling, a string is passed through the circular small holes 34 formed in the side plates 13 to 15 to prevent the cut flowers stored by the string from falling.

When the cut flowers are stored in the case, the opening 47 is closed by the lid plate 48 that closes the opening 47 on the front side, and the locking piece 49 formed on the lid plate 48 is locked in the locking hole. Insert into 30. Then, after this, the lock piece 31 is inserted into the lock hole 32 formed at the base of the locking piece 29 to lock the lid plate 48 in the closed state.

When the lid plate 48 is closed in this manner, preferably, as shown in FIG. 8, a pair of cut flower cases are connected back to back by a band 50. This prevents the cut flower case from collapsing. Also, by supplying water through the water injection port 35 into the receiving box 42 inside, an appropriate amount of water can be kept inside. In this way, cut flowers are used for physical distribution.

As described above, in the cut flower case according to the present embodiment, it is possible to supply water to the cut flowers inside even at the distribution stage by the receiving box 42 and the water absorbing material 43 arranged at the bottom thereof. Become. Therefore, it is possible to maintain the water level of cut flowers and maintain the freshness of flowers. In addition, the draining work when packing the boxes can be omitted, and shipping efficiency can be improved. In addition, there is no need to carry out water raising work at retail stores, and it is possible to sell immediately as it is.

Since the receiving box 42 for raising water is arranged on the bottom in this way, the strength of the bottom of the cut flower case is increased, and thereby distortion is prevented. Further, the receiving box 42 for keeping the flowers in a water-filled state is made of waterproof paper impregnated with wax or the like, and a water-containing mat 43 made of urethane resin or the like is stored in the receiving box 42. Therefore, it is not necessary to use a water receiver made of metal or plastic, which reduces costs and facilitates disposal when it is no longer needed.

Further, in such a cut flower case, as shown in FIG. 6, the cover plate 48 can be opened at the notch 46 provided in the front plate 11. That is, the front surface can be opened so that the cut flowers inside can be seen at the distribution stage. Therefore, it is very convenient to open the front cover plate 48 in the ordinary market and perform the auction while showing the product inside. Moreover, since the lid plate 48 is locked by the locking piece 29 and the lock piece 31, it is not necessary to peel off the adhesive tape or the like when opening, which not only improves workability but also reduces the risk of auction in the market. It does not pollute the place.

In addition, such a case for cut flowers can be stored in the case in a state where the cut flowers are upright and can be transported to the end store, and at this time, as mentioned above, the water is maintained. The water is supplied from the water injection port 35 as needed. Therefore, not only the flowers are not damaged, but also the flowers are not discolored and the flowers can be maintained at a high freshness as compared with the case of transporting the flowers in a lying state. In addition, since the case for the cut flowers is transported in the upright state, not only can the boxes be purchased at retail stores and placed at the store, but also the storage space can be saved compared to horizontally packed cartons. You need less.

In addition, such a cut flower case is composed of one piece of corrugated fiberboard base paper 10 as shown in FIG. 1, and one side surface has a double structure with side surface plates 13 and 15. In addition, it has a high pressure resistance. In such a case for cut flowers, a pair of cases are back-to-back and joined by a band 50 as shown in FIG. 8, so that it can be prevented from falling during transportation.
